“Participating in the Local Community”

These are the founding slogans under which Dr. Yoo Women’s Hospital opened on March 11, 1978, near the Hwagok Subway Station in Gangseo. Ever since, the hospital has grown to become one of the major centers of gynecology and obstetrics in Korea, moving into a new and expanded building in January 2001. The hospital now provides a comprehensive range of care and services through its departments of gynecology and obstetrics, pediatrics, internal medicine, and anesthesiology, as well as its Infertility Center and post-partum care center.

Complete with the latest-technology equipment and facilities assisting 75 beds in total, Dr. Yoo Women’s Hospital provides a spacious, relaxing, comfortable space for the treatment and care of all patients.

Single-Port Laparoscopic Surgery
Treatments of myoma, adenomyosis uteri, ovarian tumor, ectopic pregnancy, and other gynecological and obstetric problems typically require laparoscopic surgery, which involves making a couple of tiny incisions on the patient’s abdomen that leave behind permanent scars and moderate to severe pain, as well as at least a week of hospitalization. Dr. Yoo Women’s Hospital has significantly reduced these problems, making only one hole through the patient’s belly button to insert the laparoscope in, which minimizes pain, ensures fast recovery, and leaves almost no visible scar behind.

Infertility Care
Dr. Yoo Sang-wook, the head of the Infertility Medicine Research Center, conducted research on infertility at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, an affiliate of Harvard University, in the United States as part of gaining his medical degree. He has since become an expert in the area, and his clinic now boasts a success rate of over 50%.
